Trying to guess – are you?
The PPs stand for them Perfectly Possessed
When you do good – they frown
When you are honest – they drown
See those signs of jealousy in their eyes
Right when you are supremely prized
And when you stand at the tip of fame
They cruelly deflect and try to defame
No power at all in their intentions
Yet they show another side of pretension
Listen to their word not
Ignore their pull of wrongful deceit
Heed not their doings; unjust and unkind
For before your very eyes see them unwind
Into their cobwebs of hatred and misalign.
Stay your lovable self and emit your wondrous shine
Pray for them for their time is in terrible decline
See all those red flags fall
For your rise is nigh,
Belonging right in front of them all!

At Sunset
By Emily Pauline Johnson – 1861 – 1913
I.
To-night the west o’er-brims with warmest dyes;
Its chalice overflows
With pools of purple colouring the skies,
Aflood with gold and rose;
And some hot soul seems throbbing close to mine,
As sinks the sun within that world of wine.
II.
I seem to hear a bar of music float
And swoon into the west;
My ear can scarcely catch the whispered note,
But something in my breast
Blends with that strain, till both accord in one,
As cloud and colour blend at set of sun.
III.
And twilight comes with grey and restful eyes,
As ashes follow flame.
But O! I heard a voice from those rich skies
Call tenderly my name;
It was as if some priestly fingers stole
In benedictions o’er my lonely soul.
IV.
I know not why, but all my being longed
And leapt at that sweet call;
My heart outreached its arms, all passion thronged
And beat against Fate’s wall,
Crying in utter homesickness to be
Near to a heart that loves and leans to me.

Disturbia
Of a life without love
Embellished with nightmares hanging on the wings of a black dove
Of horrendous, bold images full of disdain and cult
Cries unfortunate shadowing unblissful nights of stench
Bodies upon bodies of blood lost upon an alter
Gutted and drenched.
Of a life filled with eternity
What good is time if there is no joy
Wrongful passion misconstrued on the rims of pain
Innocence lost in the arms of guttural pleasures
Death would be that heavenly key.
Spare us the lives of the newly born
Another generation of newly dead!

RISEN
And when she exuberantly shines
Thundering gifts fall, descending from the skies
Brimming richness as God so desired!

To The River
By Edgar Allan Poe – 1809-1849
I.
Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow
Of crystal, wandering water,
Thou art an emblem of the glow
Of beauty, the unhidden heart,
The playful maziness of art
In old Alberto’s daughter;
II.
But when within thy wave she looks,
Which glistens then, and trembles,
Why, then, the prettiest of brooks
Her worshiper resembles;
For in his heart, as in thy stream,
Her image deeply lies,
His heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul-searching eyes.

She Walks in Beauty
By George Gordon Byron – 1788-1824
I.
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
II.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
III.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
